i dont get the point in changing it the only key bindings i use are number keys no shift no nothing i dont need them i dont think any one should need them on any class/spec its not needed unless your lazy i prefer the way it is. for pve and pvp i dont even use my pinky anymore as i dont need to.

7, 8,9, /, *, -, + are main attacks and primary defensives
ins / home / del / end / page up / page down are secondary defensives and utilities
f9-f12 are aspects
f5 through f8 are marks
mouse wheel up / down with ctrl and shift modifiers are dots and other things
directional arrows are next target, focus target (with the tank always focused), flare, camo
p, [, ], \, and various other keys that are second nature to get to round out the binds

It's still a work in progress, but the stuff I need the quickest is generally proportional to the least hand movement. Having the strafe and rotate buttons opposed allows me to circle strafe in situations where it's needed, while still carrying out other tasks (picking specific targets, etc).

I agree with ESDF being the best choice. Having easy reach of modifiers is very very important. I think having 10 buttons with 3 modifiers is better than just having 30 buttons. Also I plan on getting a Razer Anansi which will have thumb modifers and TFGH will be akward for that whereas ESDF would be perfectly positioned.

19 x 4 (default, crtl, alt & Shift) makes almost 80 buttons.
Enough for you? granted, it took me about a month to get used to ALL the buttons. I still show them up in my bars so I never forget or get stuck if I don't remember one. BUT, all my abilities are binded, and especially my main ones (top 25 or so), I know ALL of them by heart.

My Main concern with WASD was the shift key was its was so close to my other fingers, I want it o keep it away from my fingers a bit and beside arent u tired of WASD. and for those who say oh oh who uses A and D to turn, pros turn with the mouse. No STFU even u use those keys to turn. Its a basic key that u need always. NOBDY IN WOW TURNS ALL THE TIME WITH THIER MOUSE WHEN U ARE IN A CITY JUST FOOLING AROUND U DONT TURN WITH MOUSE YOU WANNA TURN WITH A AND D. So stop telling other people to turn with mouse sure in a heated batle u shouldnt turn with A and D but with mouse then ok. And if ur mouse stops working in a middle of a raid ur screwed. Yea so keep those keys the way they are.

Short question: Is there an addon, that let me easy modify my keybindings AND create profiles, that I can reload (or switch between)? I'ts a lot of time to modify the binding once to switch from WASD to whatever but if I want to switch back and have to do it again ...

Modifiers. Enough said. You can probably not reach CTRL and SHIFT without trouble if you are using TFGH. Having both SHIFT and CTRL, but less buttons if more efficent for most players. Less buttons = more accuracy

Your idea is flawed by making an assumption of using too many movement keys.

1st - W isn't needed at all by the use of pressing both mouse buttons at once and moving mouse to guide your direction.
2nd - A, S, D is all that is needed for movement. Personally I use A-Strafe Left, S-Strafe Right, D- Backward.

This now frees up Q, W, E from movement keys, and now learn:

1-6 is easily reachable.
q,w,e,r,t,y,f,g,h,z,x,c,v,b all easily reachable for keybinds.

No offense, but if you need more than 19 keybinds....nm, I will just leave it at that.

Removing S is justifiable, but W is not. Using both mouse button to move will render you unable to use mouse while moving, which is vital in both PvE and PvP. H is not reachable for me, nor zxb.
